• With the pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture looks like course bread crumbs.
• Add the chopped raisins, currants, and walnuts to the flour mixture. Mix with the wooden spoon.
• Pour 1/2 cup milk into the small saucepan and place it over low heat. When tiny bubbles form around the edge of the pot, the milk is ready.
• Break the egg into the small bowl. Then add it to the fruit and flour mixture. Add the hot milk and molasses. With the wooden spoon mix everything well.
